In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my suiferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared. except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less | do not know what 1t may
have done for others, but l do know that in
my case, Hoods SaFsaparilla has proved an

my gratitude l send these facts unsolicited,

this cure, by personal correspondence with

come, more than thirty years ago in -four
or five instances, watched the Matching Of

| observing, near night. a number of small
holes IN the ground near the house, and
many Of the grubs swkwardly travelling
around, and knowing they would be on,
with wings next morning. took one and
put it into small bowl, placing In the
center of the bowl small spool full OF
thread, into the upper end of which was
inserted green twig several inches long
with the bark on. Thus prepared /
watched my prisoner till near midnight,
| though wearied with extreme hard labor
through the day. For a long time the
grub crawled uneasily around, vsinly en-
deavoriDg to ascend the smooth walls Of the
bowl Occasionally he would go 10
the spool and climb, sometimes several
inches up the twig; but evidently dissatis-
fed, would return. This was repeated a
great many times, but at last he went near
the top of the twig, and taking plenty of
time, fastened his claws closely into the
bark, and fhen for some minutes thought
he was entirely still. l soon perceived,
however, that he was much curved, the
head being drawn forward and downward.
About this time perceived narrow open
ing In the back between his shoulders. This
Sensibly widened, and in short time the
head was drawn out. He next proceeded
10 slowly and cautiously ascend; drawing
his legs out Of his boots, until entirely lib
Grated. He then crawled three or four
inches above the old SHE'LL and stopped and
unfolded his wings g beautiful and delicate
process indeed The wings at first are
small white patches on his sides, remind
ing one of the waxen scales On the sides of
the honey bee.
The wings are folded up In very fine
plaits, one of which Is let out at time,
which by close observation can be seen In
small jerk-like motions.
The wings are full of water, extremely
tender, and very easily wounded. The
smallest puncture will let the liquid escape
and the wing will dry up at that point,
having the appearance of having been
burnt
Although it Is the first experience of
Mr.. Grub, he performs his task with as
much precision and cxactitude as if he had
served long apprenticeship at the hatch
ing business, and 10 five or six instances OF
observation there was not the slightest va
ration from the process above described.
